Listen asshole, if you don't like America, land of the brave and the free, it 
can only mean one of four things:  (1) you're a fucking Commie bastard;  
(2) you read Chung chou chinky jokes and actually laugh;  (3)  you take it up 
the ass every night; or (4) all of the above.  

Conclusion:  I've decided, in my infinite wisdom, you're a #4.  Therefore:

Go stick your fat ass up for Chung-chou to stick his dick in, ya 
Commie-loving faggot!

Hey, that was totally uncalled for.  That gentleman didn't voice a dislike of
America, simply surprise at what he encountered in a magazine.  We live in a
bizarre and diversified country, and such things are probably quite new to him.
He's entitled to post his opinion without being threatened, so back off.

Quarky, baby! Lighten Up, son. These fine people from Down Under were
making a simple comment on our fine country. You need to go home and get
yer mommy to give you yer prozac. She shouldn't forget these things.

Don't you think conclusions are a little out of your reach, there?

Brett, don't take our little friend here to serious.
He just forgot to take his medicine, again.
Enjoy your trip.

And if you get through Colorado, give me a buzz.

Ahem.  Considering the original message was posted to pretty
much all of the tasteless groups (as well as at least one
alt.flame.* group), I'd say that the tasteless
nonsense that you deleted was actually rather fitting.

I'd agree that he's entitled to post his opinion, but as for
being entitled to not having tasteless nonsense directed at him,
he might want to pay more attention to WHERE he posts his opinion.
Though I don't really think QUARK's response came as much
of a surprise to him.

Listen asshole, if you don't like Faggots, lovers of the brave and the free, it
can only mean one of four things: (1) you're a non-fucking boring bastard;
(2) you read rec.humour because you thought it meant "rectal"; (3) you are
anal retentive; or (4) all of the above.

get a life.

....If you can drop a man to his knees with one punch, and can punch
11 times in a second, does that mean you can drop 11 men to their knees
in one second? ;^)
